August

School days, good old golden rules days....Can you believe it?? We have a Freshman and a Junior. Say what?! Yep and Junior and a Freshman! August has been a pretty busy month for us. First day of school, beginning of the much waited for and long process of braces and jaw surgery, drivers licenses, dog fights, jeep mods and more. Man I am tired just thinking about this month. All in all we are doing great. Healing, moving on, rejoicing, fighting, crying, laughing and hugging....yep we have done it all and then some. Life is most definitely not easy, however it is worth it, and having my fam makes even the crud not so cruddy.

Oh yeah, and this happened! Our eldest Beauty got her drivers license!! 1st try baby!

 I am blessed to be able to watch these two cuties and their big brother, every week!

 It is finally time to start BRACES!

Anaesthesia "Ana" and Ella got into a fight and Ana had to get stitches. :0(

Jason and I lifted the blue jeep. He did most of it, however thanks to my tiny hands and fingers I was able to help get the spacers and bolts in place, otherwise our garage would have a new addition to clutter it up.

 Ugh, Mom, why?! Because, my Beauty, it's what I do and I LOVE YOU!

 This cute little jeep is driven by a teen at the Beauties school.

 Love these beautiful and bright Seminary mornings :o)

 Jesse's new to him car!

 National Night Out...Jason, MJ and I went to National Night Out. It was a lot of fun spending time with these two. There were a lot of people, the venue was really cute, almost made me wish my kiddos were little again so we could go back to the park and play.....almost.

 

Next to the park was a Veterans Memorial <3

First day of ScHoOl.....Oh my goodness...we have a JuNiOr and a FrEsHmAn in the house!!!

Freshman Sunrise....Freedom has a tradition where they have the Freshman meet at sunrise on the first day of school. So we hit Dutch Brothers for some hot chocolate and were at the school at 0530 for the fun.
